Dear Panthers,
The Shooting Brake (aka 89 CP) had been sitting for a couple weeks when I left for Atlanta, 7 am 5 degrees after a ten minute warmup. When we reached a four lane after about an hour of driving I noticed a high pitched whine - sounded like wheel bearings, that kind of whine. It occurred between 55 and 65 when pulling a mild hill - more pronounced in OD than D but present in both. No whine either faster or slower. If I left it in OD pulling a hill it seemed to flutter slightly at the very end before it quit.
Not wheel bearings. Sounded like running gear or tranny but Scott installed new U joints w/the auminum drive shaft a year ago and the tranny was serviced three months ago. After another hour, I never heard it again over a three day drive in all sorts of weather.
I wondered if the very cold weather might have slightly distorted something - or maybe harmonics???
Anybody else?
Donald
